Stolen from our embrace : the abduction of first nations children and the restoration of aboriginal communities

Fournier, Suzanne 1952- (author.). Crey, Ernie, 1949- (author.). Neel, David, (photographer.).

Summary: "This important and timely book is a balance of the most gruesome elements of assimilation: church-run schools, the child welfare system, survivors of sexual abuse, and Foetal Alcohol Syndrome counter-balanced against heroic stories of children who survived, fought back, and found their way home. Harrrowing stories are presented wherever possible in the first person, by Fournier, a journalist, and Cree, a B.C native spokesperson and activist, and a stolen child himself. The final message is optimistic, suggesting that redress and reconciliation could enrich the entire country by creating healthy aboriginal communities."--
